Says he was playing cat and mouse with Jo to get other riders to catch up, and that the media built up a race as a brawl until it actually happened. Also says he could have t-boned him, but did not want to and that wasn't his goal.

Listen to a master at his craft and why he wants the sport to grow.

Also doesn't care if you like him or not, but lets keep the thread positive.

Does he need 500 000$ on his bank account as a multimillionnaire ? Not sure.

The aspect of the race would have definitly change depending the mindset he would have step in to. If he raced, and won by 10-20 seconds, everybody would have criticize Levi. Haiden would be seen as the virtual winner, the strongest of the 250's, and still made a bunch of money.

Doesn’t care if you like him or hate him, then why does he gotta post an explanation for himself?

I thought it was a good video.  It makes sense what he was trying to do in the final SMX.

Also, growing the sport is a good thing.

What he didn't say, is whether he's 100% in for MXoN.

Did the cat or the mouse end up with the broken collarbone?

By no means do I dislike HD, I'm actually a fan, but at times I do not agree with what they say or do. I have seen a pattern of every time they face criticism, it get's framed as "growing the sport" as like a cop-out. Dude gets arrested, "growing the sport." He takes his aggressive riding too far it's "growing the sport." It's like no matter what, everything is spun so it's either them doing everyone a favor by people seeing it or talking about. Then if it's not that, then it's someone else's fault. That part is getting a bit old. Levi Kitchen was "growing the sport" when he took Haiden out, then. They accused Mitch Payton of orchestrating that, but I think Mitch was just "growing the sport." That kid that did the bike claim was just "growing the sport." It can go both ways. So I'm sort of over hearing that after every incident. 

I love how HD rides but I don't need to love everything he says or does. So I just wanted to give my opinion on this and I don't hold it against him. I do think he is going to come up big for the USA this weekend and I hope he does.

observations,

1,its not his job to grow the sport last I knew

2,cat and mouse is not racing, its wwf

3,he is paid to race and win, not create drama on the track

race to win, period. I thought he has said every time he lines up he tells himself to destroy, guess that's bs too. Conveniently changes the narrative to justify doing dumb shit. Last, hes so out of touch that he clearly didn't see the majority, if not all of his piers disagreed with his tactics. Can you imagine doing such stupid shit and not having anyone in your circle to point it out to you. Kind of reminds me of the new Netflix show Black Rabbit. The dumb ass gangster, Jr . Just a clueless dip shit not seeing himself the way the rest of the world does.

Your "master at his craft" was laying on the ground from a self-inflicted broken collar bone. I guess im different than you, to me the "Master of his craft" would have completed the race. He could have easily won, took home the overall bonus, took home the 250K and also took home individual sponsorship bonuses....

Yet you all sit here and talk about him. Helping him “grow the sport” by commenting over and over again lol. Downvotes incoming, yahooo! (Btw, not a fan of his games with Jo, we can all agree on that)

The downvotes aren't because it's Deegan, the downvotes are because your premise is silly. People who are already fans of the sport talking with other people who are already fans of the sport on a message board designed for said fans, doesn't help grow the sport.
